What causes pain in the hands and feet?

Hand and foot pain can arise from several causes. Inflammation is a significant contributor. This can be from an injury or inflammatory disorders like arthritis, leading to swelling in joints, muscles, or tissue. Additionally, nerve damage plays a pivotal role in such pain. Conditions like neuropathy, frequently linked with diabetes or other systemic diseases, can cause nerve injury, manifesting as pain, numbness, or a tingling sensation in the hands and feet.

What is it called when you have pain only in the hands and feet?

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where pain is limited to the hands and feet. It results from damage to your peripheral nerves, the network of nerves situated outside of your brain and spinal cord. Peripheral neuropathy typically presents as a combination of weakness, numbness, and hand and foot pain. But it can also affect other body parts and functions such as digestion, urination, and blood flow.

How do you stop your hands and feet from hurting?

To manage hand and foot pain, consider these strategies: - Rest: Limit or avoid tasks that exacerbate your pain. - Pain management medication: Over-the-counter analgesics like paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen can help alleviate pain. - Heat and ice therapy: Regular application of ice can help reduce inflammation, while heat can promote blood flow and relax the muscles. - CBD pain relief cream: Gently massage CBD pain relief cream into the aching muscles to alleviate foot and hand pain. - Splinting: Soft braces or splints can support your hands and wrists, reducing pain. - Regular movement: Keeping your hands, wrists, feet, and ankles moving with gentle exercises can help maintain flexibility and decrease pain. - Therapeutic massage: Incorporating gentle massage into your routine can enhance blood flow, ease muscle strain, and help alleviate foot and hand pain. - Seek medical care: When hand and foot pain limits your activities and impairs your sleep, seek medical attention. The pain may be symptomatic of a greater concern.

Why do hands and feet ache at night?

Nighttime hand and foot pain can result from several factors. Muscular issues such as overuse or strain, nerve problems like neuropathy, bone-related pathologies or injuries, skin-related conditions, inflammatory processes like arthritis, and even vascular concerns can all contribute to this discomfort. The quiet and stillness of night can also make you more aware of these aches.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – (February 16, 2024) – QC Kinetix, a leader in the field of regenerative medicine, proudly announces the appointment of Dr. Mitchell Sheinkop as its National Medical Director. With a remarkable career spanning decades as an orthopedic surgeon, educator, and pioneer in regenerative medicine, Dr. Sheinkop brings unparalleled expertise and vision to the QC Kinetix executive leadership team.

Having dedicated over 37 years to joint replacement surgery before venturing into regenerative medicine, Dr. Sheinkop’s career reflects his commitment to innovation and patient care. His decision to join QC Kinetix embodies his belief in the power of regenerative medicine to transform lives.

“Joining QC Kinetix is the continuation of a journey for me, a third career where retirement is not in my vocabulary,” Sheinkop stated. “I’m excited to contribute to a field that offers a needle instead of a knife, helping patients through skeletal and muscular regenerative medicine.”

QC Kinetix utilizes regenerative medicine treatments to harness and engage the body’s natural ability to renew itself, providing improved function while avoiding surgery for musculoskeletal discomfort.

In his new position at QC Kinetix, Dr. Sheinkop will head the medical management team, focusing on the evaluation and enhancement of protocols, as well as spearheading research and development initiatives to keep the franchise at the cutting edge of medical innovation. He aims to incorporate physical therapy and weight loss into existing treatment frameworks to elevate patient results and overall satisfaction, positively impacting the entire brand. Additionally, Dr. Sheinkop will focus on refining the training and certification processes for practitioners, underlining the critical role of evidence-based medicine within regenerative care practices.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Sheinkop’s educational background includes undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois and medical training at Chicago Medical School, culminating in a residency at Northwestern University. His career has seen him traverse international boundaries as a surgeon and visiting lecturer, delivering educational sessions in diverse locales such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Istanbul, Hungary, Switzerland, Poland, Russia, Romania, and Austria. His scholarly contributions include authoring over 70 works in various esteemed publications and peer-reviewed journals, cementing his reputation as a foremost authority in orthopedics and regenerative medicine.

Reflecting on his journey, Dr. Sheinkop stated, “I am from a hardworking blue-collar, Midwestern family. I attribute my success in medicine to a strong work ethic, a little luck, and not being afraid to seize opportunities. I went into orthopedics, for example, during the Vietnam era because I recognized the need for that specialty.”

Sheinkop served in the United States Air Force Reserve as a first lieutenant and captain in the Medical Corps. Today he resides in Chicago with his wife of 56 years, Sharon, continuing an active lifestyle as an avid gardener and skier — further underscoring the importance of regenerative medicine in maintaining a high quality of life.

Scott Hoots, CEO of QC Kinetix, expressed his enthusiasm about Dr. Sheinkop’s appointment, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Sheinkop to our team. His vast experience, innovative mindset, and commitment to regenerative medicine make him the perfect leader to guide our medical team. Dr. Sheinkop’s vision aligns perfectly with our mission to provide cutting-edge, patient-centered care. His leadership will undoubtedly propel QC Kinetix to new levels of excellence and help us better serve our patients across the country.”

As QC Kinetix begins this thrilling new phase under Dr. Sheinkop’s leadership, his extensive experience, which merges outstanding clinical achievements with a strong dedication to education and professional growth, positions Dr. Sheinkop as the perfect individual to steer QC Kinetix into new realms of achievement and creativity.
